As stated in my last post. I picked up the Snap-Tite (Hey! It was the only one they had!) Naboo Figther model. The scale is 1/48. Is that close to 25mm? The pilot fig appears to be 25mm.

Hiya Mark! "25mm" is practically anything you want it to be. Seriously. Read

and you'll see why I make those outlandish claims.:)

Actually, 1/76 is the closest to 25mm as any, as 1/76th of 6 foot (average man's height) is an inch, and 25mm is an inch. Though I suppose as far as vehicles go, it could be much more flexible than figures. - Buddy [quoted original message omitted]

Correction, I meant 1/72, not 1/76. :o) 1/76 is 20mm. [quoted original message omitted]

> Actually, 1/76 is the closest to 25mm as any, as 1/76th of 6 foot Strictly, "25mm" (or any other height/scale) in the wargame figure sense does not represent the overall height of an average man, but rather the distance from feet to EYE LEVEL, which is somewhat less than 6 feet. I think this was taken as the standard because it is easier to measure (well, OK, except in a full-face helmet!) that the top of the head, which is usually covered by headgear.
